Stuck in Sweden missing all the Mexican food home has to offer…
I'd give my life for a chimichanga-..Of course I'm pretty sure its the most unhealthy thing on the menu, fried and smothered in delicious cheese, but–sometimes, you just have to let yourself have what you love..or at least a little bite of someone elses! Am I right?

I order a Margarita without sour mix (or any for that matter). I request fresh lime juice if possible and if not Rose’s Lime juice. It may be smaller and bitter but you can always use a substitute sweetener if necessary.

My favorite Mexican restaurant light supper is the Mexican shrimp cocktail. It is very different from the American version. It is served in a large margarita type goblet and has raw onions, celery, cucumber, tomatoes and avocado and plenty of shrimp in a tomato and clam juice sauce,and a little Tabasco….sooo good!

Oh forgot, maybe the sauce is a low fat mozzarella cheese spead very thinly and heated up to melt on top of the chicken taco

Hey Lily the pic says it all

1. flour tortillo shell
2. chicken….try grilling for a better taste
3. red pepper…sliced thin and grilled for taste
4. black beans as a topping…looks like canned beans
5. small aspargus…small ones better for grilling also
6. garnished with cilantro…opt
7. some kind of sauce but you can make one of your own choice; a light one will do and not a cream sauce! maybe a little low fat ranch sauce foir example

The pic looks like a healthy , low fat version of a chicken taco, except for the shell which I might replace for a whole wheat pita, for example

I usually go for the chicken enchiladas with no sauce or have it on the side and I can then add it if nessary or needed; I also like the fajitas with beef, chicken and shrimp, it is a great dish to make at home with grilled meats and veggies and if you don’t mind the change, eat them with a fork or use a white or yellow corn shell but not the flour shells! (heat the shells first)

I pass on the rice and the chips with salsa but I do eat the salad a good greens with gucamole (avocado) dressing is good for you.

Just eat and enjoy.. life is short, just a final note the mexican food we eat here in the USA is not what you find in mexico, we over kill on the topping, and for that we eat lots of fat.

Authentic Mexican food is much healthier than what is served in Americanized “Mexican” restaurants. Tacos usually consist of soft corn tortillas, roasted or grilled meats, and topped with veggies, not loaded down with cheese and sour cream! If there is cheese, it’s usually a light sprinkling. They don’t typically serve chips and salsa either. Salsa is used as a condiment for food.
